About Me
I like to get to know ppl first before I add them to my list. I have suffered from episodes of depression and anxiety for about twenty years. The anxiety has improved but I'm still vulnerable to episodes of depression when under pressure. I am married, have two grown-up sons who are married, and have three grandchildren. Was a primary school teacher for many years....found it very stressful but extremely rewarding.Sorry but not recieving friends unless I've spoken with you.
Interests
I like music, mostly classical and playing the piano, crosswords and reading.I enjoy the theatre and musicals. Enjoy yoga and aqua-fit. I love being with my grandchildren-they are delightful and give me great joy. I love being near the seaside and walking.

He volunters for anything that is going on for Church and I am so thankful for him being active in Church.....at least he is not here to fuss at me:)

Hug
Thanks G. Yes, my heartbeats were elevated to say the least. I must say though that the shot they gave him in the derriere and the results of the meds has been quite entertaining. LOL Not too much longer before your visit. How are you feeling about things? Keep it light and optimistic hon. I'm sure you'll have a lovely visit.

Support Groups
Close Ovarian Cancer
I came to this site when my sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in Sept 07. I was so devastated and needed support from others who were experiencing similar problems. My sister has now finished her chemotherapy treatment, and her results have been clear. Such a relief!! She will have a scan in 2 months time to check everything is still alright.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have suffered with anxiety for many years. The constant anxiety brought on depression. I am vulnerable to stress which triggers depression. Last Sept/Oct I Felt very depressed because of problems concerning my family, difficult relationships and my sister recently being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Can't cope.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful
- It has helped in some ways although when I go through a particularly bad time I wonder if they do have any effect. I suffer excessive sweating with the med.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- The counsellor asked me how I can overcome my problems. I replied by saying I hoped she had some suggestions. If I knew the answers I wouldn't have asked for her professional advice.
- Writing Too Soon to Tell
- Started writing a journal of Happy Moments.
Open Anxiety
I have suffered from anxiety, panic attacks and depression for a number of years.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
- Breathwork Working / Worked
- I've done a lot of breathing exercises in yoga which has been very helpful. Recently I attended a course called Stresspac where we learned breathing techniques.
- Hypnotherapy Working / Worked
- I had severe panic attacks when going into crowded places. Fortunately a few sessions of hypnotherapy solved my problem.
- Inderal Working / Worked
- Stopped my shakes until I learned to control my anxiety.
- Meditation Considering
- I'm learning to meditate to help me relax and to induce sleep as I have great problems going off to sleep. It has helped, but too soon to say if it's solved my problem yet.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- Try to keep an optimistic outlook. The Stresspac course has helped to keep me focused on good realistic thoughts.
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
For the last 6yrs my weight has fluctuated, but has now spiralled out of control. Have tried many diets but need some support.
Treatments
- Atkins Diet Somewhat Helpful
- Lost a few pounds quickly, but had cramps and don't like taking lots od supplements.
- Slim-Fast Not Working
- worked initially but the weight slowly creeps back on.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- Tried this 7yrs ago and I reached my goal weight. Since then I've had emotional probs and have been comfort eating.
